Demonstrate how to define a type that behaves like an integer but has a lowest valid value of 1 and a highest valid value of 10. Include all bounds checking you need to write, or explain how the compiler or interpreter creates those bounds checks for you.
 
==[[{{header|Ada]]}}==
<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">type My_Type is range 1..10;</syntaxhighlight>
[[Category:Ada]]
 
type My_Type is range 1..10;
The compiler identifies the range of valid values from the range specification ''1..10'' and automatically builds in bounds checking where it is needed. The compiler is smart enough to omit bounds checking when it is not needed.
<syntaxhighlight lang="ada">A : My_Type := 3;
B : My_Type := A;</syntaxhighlight>
The compiler will omit bounds checking for the assignment of A to B above because both values are of My_Type. A cannot hold a value outside the range of 1..10, therefore the assignment cannot produce an out of bounds result.

Runtime bounds checking is expensive, so code ''given to the user'' typically has such checks turned off. The user is getting a dangerous version of the program!
 
Also, the programmer cannot discover violations except by running the program.
 
Is it not better, if possible, to have ''the compiler'' detect the mistake?
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="ats">(*
 
Here is the type:
 
*)
 
typedef rosetta_code_primitive_type =
[i : int | 1 <= i; i <= 10] int i
 
(*
 
You do not have to insert bounds checking, and the compiler inserts no
bounds checking. You simply *cannot* assign an out-of-range value.
 
(Proviso: unless you do some serious cheating.)
 
*)
 
implement
main0 (argc, argv) =
let
var n : rosetta_code_primitive_type
in
n := 1;
n := 10;
n := 11
end
 
(*
 
An attempt to compile this program *will fail* when it typechecks ‘n := 11’:

*)</syntaxhighlight>
 
The compiler’s messages are cryptic, but this problem could be overcome with devoted work on the compiler. (It is, after all, copylefted software and can be forked.)
 
There is a more serious downside. It is stated in [[#Ada|the Ada section]] that the Ada compiler is smart enough to know when to leave out bounds checks. In contrast, the ATS compiler will ''reject'' the program, unless it ''knows'' it can ‘leave out bounds checks’.
 
On the other hand, ''if you have no proof'' that a value is within the bounds 1..10, you must avoid attempting the assignment; but you can instead put something like '''if 1 <= k then if k <= 10 then n := k else abort() else abort()'''. In other words, you ''can'' insert a bounds check. It is often done, and there is an '''assertloc''' macro for doing so. The compiler lets you know you need the bounds check, but will not do it for you.
 
(You can also seriously cheat by using something like '''$UNSAFE.prop_assert''', but that is another topic. I mention it to encourage individual enquiry.)
 
=={{header|C sharp|C#}}==
Strictly speaking, this task is impossible in C# because a type that behaves like an integer (<code>int</code>, or <code>System.Int32</code>; <code>Integer</code> in VB.NET) must be a struct (in order to have value-type semantics), and, since C# does not allow the definition of a parameterless constructor for a struct (instead generating a default parameterless constructor that sets each of its fields to the default value for the type of the field), an instance of the struct with the forbidden value of zero can be created through that default constructor.
 
A way to overcome this in the type's public interface, however, is to expose the field exclusively as a property that checks whether its backing field is out of range, and, if so, returns a valid default value.
 
Through operator overloading, it is possible to declare types in C# with the full complement of operators available on the primitive types. The following structure attempts to mimic the behavior of the <code>int</code> type in C# on .NET Core as much as possible, including interfaces and static members, delegating as much implementation as possible to the <code>Integer</code> type itself.

The built-in integer type specifier provides range parameters. <code>deftype</code> may be used to define an alias for it.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(deftype one-to-ten ()
'(integer 1 10))</syntaxhighlight>
 
For a bounds check, one may use <code>typep</code> (a predicate) or <code>check-type</code> (signals an error if not of the type).
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(defun word (i)
(check-type i one-to-ten)
(case i
(1 "one")
(2 "two")
(3 "three")
(4 "four")
(5 "five")
(6 "six")
(7 "seven")
(8 "eight")
(9 "nine")
(10 "ten")))</syntaxhighlight>
 
(Note that the above can be written without the separate check-type by using <code>ecase</code> instead of <code>case</code>, which signals an error when no case matches.)
 
To inform the compiler that a variable will be of a certain type, permitting optimizations, use a declaration:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">(dolist (i numbers)
(declare (type one-to-ten i))
...)</syntaxhighlight>
 
Note, however, that the standard does not specify what happens in the event that a declaration is false (though [[SBCL]], for example, does perform type checks on any declaration except when <code>safety</code> is 0); use <code>check-type</code> for portable bounds checks.

In Euphoria types are special functions that may be used in declaring the allowed values for a variable. A type must have exactly one parameter and should return an atom that is either true (non-zero) or false (zero). Types can also be called just like other functions. The types '''object''', '''sequence''', '''atom''' and '''integer''' are predefined.

We can accomplish this using a predicate class. A predicate class must be a subclass of an existing class and allows the programmer to write a predicate which determines membership.
<syntaxhighlight lang="factor">PREDICATE: my-int < integer [ 0 > ] [ 11 < ] bi and ;</syntaxhighlight>
This automatically creates the <code>my-int?</code> predicate word which determines whether an object is a <code>my-int</code>.
<syntaxhighlight lang="factor">11 my-int? ! f
10 my-int? ! t
"hello" my-int? ! f</syntaxhighlight>
We can now write methods that specialize on <code>my-int</code>. We will define an increment word, <code>++</code>, which increments <code>integer</code>s by <tt>1</tt> but divides <code>my-int</code>s by <tt>2</tt>.

=={{header|Forth}}==
{{ works with|ANS/ISO Forth|}}
Forth can be thought of as a clever Assembler for the Forth two stack virtual machine. As such Standard Forth does not type data but it does implicitly "type" words that act on data in that each function normally operates on a prescribed data type. True to the low level nature of Forth, the responsibility to select the correct action word for specific data is given to the programmer. That being said there are some simple ways to add the requested mechanism to your Forth system.
 
It is worth noting that Forth's penchant for simplicity means we do not need to write new math operators since each operator is atomic and takes arguments from the stack and returns the result to the stack. Therefore we get the desired functionality by only changing the assignment operation. Simplicity has its advantages.
 
=== Method 1: Safe Integer Store operators===
Forth is a fetch and store based virtual machine. If we create a safe version of store (!) the programmer simply uses this operator rather than the standard store operator.
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">DECIMAL
: CLIP ( n lo hi -- n') ROT MIN MAX ;
: BETWEEN ( n lo hi -- flag) 1+ WITHIN ;
 
\ programmer chooses CLIPPED or SAFE integer assignment
: CLIP! ( n addr -- ) SWAP 1 10 CLIP SWAP ! ;
: SAFE! ( n addr -- )
OVER 1 10 BETWEEN 0= ABORT" out of range!"
! ;</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">VARIABLE X
7 X SAFE! X ? 7 ok

99 X SAFE!
:64: out of range!
99 X >>>SAFE!<<<
Backtrace:
$7FAA2B0C throw
$7FAD4698 c(abort")
</syntaxhighlight>
=== Method 2: redefine standard "store" operator as DEFER word ===
Using the code in Method 1, we can re-define the store (!) operator to be switchable.
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">DECIMAL
: FAST! ( n addr -- ) ! ; ( alias the standard version)
 
DEFER !
 
\ commands to change the action of '!'

</syntaxhighlight>
=== Method 3: Create a safe VALUE assignment operator===
A VALUE defines a numerical data type that returns it's value rather than an address (pointer) like a variable.
We can create a word that assigns a number to a VALUE but tests for out of range errors.
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">: (->) ( n <text> -- )

The FPC (Free Pascal compiler) by default does ''not generate'' range checks.
Assigning a value out of range is possible.
Only constant expressions, i. e. expressions that can be evaluated entirely during compile-time, are not accepted, if they are out of range.
 
The compiler directive <tt>{$rangeChecks on}</tt> will enable insertion of range checks.
If an out of range assignment is attempted, a run-time error occurs.
 
Note, in <tt>{$mode Delphi}</tt> range checks are only switchable at procedural level, not on a per expression-basis.

Creating a type that behaves like an integer but yet is distinct from it can be done in Go subject to the following constraints:
 
1. An instance of the new type needs to be created via a factory function (Go doesn't have constructors or user defined literals) to ensure it lies between 1 and 10. If an attempt is made to create an instance outside these limits, the value is adjusted so that it is just within them.
 
2. Go doesn't support operator overloading and so methods need to be defined for the standard operations on integers. As in the case of the Kotlin entry, only the basic arithmetic operations and the increment and decrement operations have been catered for below.
<syntaxhighlight lang="go">package main

=={{header|Haskell}}==
 
Haskell doesn't have any built-in subrange types. However, it is possible to declare arbitrary types that "behave like" any of the built-in types on the "usual" numeric etc. operations, because these operations are defined by type-classes. So we generalize the task a bit, and first declare a generic container type that supports an additional ''check'' operation. Then, we lift any operation in the base type to the container type, by executing the check after each operation:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-}
 
data Check a b = Check { unCheck :: b } deriving (Eq, Ord)
 
class Checked a b where
check :: b -> Check a b
 
lift f x = f (unCheck x)
liftc f x = check $ f (unCheck x)
 
lift2 f x y = f (unCheck x) (unCheck y)
lift2c f x y = check $ f (unCheck x) (unCheck y)
lift2p f x y = (check u, check v) where (u,v) = f (unCheck x) (unCheck y)
 
instance Show b => Show (Check a b) where
show (Check x) = show x
showsPrec p (Check x) = showsPrec p x
 
instance (Enum b, Checked a b) => Enum (Check a b) where
succ = liftc succ
pred = liftc pred
toEnum = check . toEnum
fromEnum = lift fromEnum
 
instance (Num b, Checked a b) => Num (Check a b) where
(+) = lift2c (+)
(-) = lift2c (-)
(*) = lift2c (*)
negate = liftc negate
abs = liftc abs
signum = liftc signum
fromInteger = check . fromInteger
 
instance (Real b, Checked a b) => Real (Check a b) where
toRational = lift toRational
 
instance (Integral b, Checked a b) => Integral (Check a b) where
quot = lift2c quot
rem = lift2c rem
div = lift2c div
mod = lift2c mod
quotRem = lift2p quotRem
divMod = lift2p divMod
toInteger = lift toInteger</syntaxhighlight>
Now we can declare the a subrange 1..10 of integer like this:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">newtype TinyInt = TinyInt Int
 
instance Checked TinyInt Int where
check x | x >= 0 && x <= 10 = Check x
| otherwise = error "Out of range"</syntaxhighlight>
In the same way, we could now declare the subtype of the even integers:
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">newtype EvenInt = EvenInt Int
 
instance Checked EvenInt Int where
check x | even x = Check x
| otherwise = error "Not even"</syntaxhighlight>
 
Similarly, we could declare the subtype of floating point numbers with restricted exponent, and so on.

In the following, we define a new type named "smallint", with arithmetic operations that either return the "smallint" one would expect from ordinary arithmetic, or else return nothing (an empty stream), as opposed to returning null or raising an error. The choice of an empty stream is made to highlight this alternative.
By design, jq's types are constrained to be JSON types, so jq's type system cannot be used to create a new type, but we can create a parallel type system based on JSON objects. We shall do so using the convention that if an object has a key named "type", then the type of the object will be the given value:<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def typeof:
if type == "object" and has("type") then .type else type end;</syntaxhighlight>We also define a generic "pretty-print" filter:
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def pp:

end;</syntaxhighlight>Our instances of smallint will look like this: {"type": "smallint", "value": 0}
 
This definition ensures that jq's basic tests for equality and inequality (== and !=) can be used for the instances of smallint.
 
In fact the builtin comparison functions (< and >) will also have the correct semantics, as will sort and unique.
 
As of this writing, the official release of jq does not support modules, so we will not use jq's new module system here, but it would allow us to place all the smallint functions in a Smallint module.
 
To generate instances of smallint, we define a function, smallint(i), that will return an instance corresponding to an integer, i, if it is in range. As noted above, it will otherwise return nothing at all (as opposed to null or raising an error):<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def smallint(i): i as $i
| if (i|type) == "number" and i == (i|floor) and i > 0 and i < 11 then {"type": "smallint", "value": i}
else empty
end ;
 
# A convenience function to save typing:
def s(i): smallint(i);
 
# To convert from the pretty-print representation back to smallint:
def tosmallint:
if type == "string" and startswith("smallint::") then
split("::") | smallint( .[1] | tonumber )
else empty
end ;</syntaxhighlight>That leaves just basic arithmetic operations: add minus times mod div <syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def add(a;b): smallint(a.value + b.value);

=={{header|Kotlin}}==
There are limits to what can be done to create a 'work-alike' primitive type in Kotlin as the language doesn't support either user-defined literals or implicit conversions between types.
 
However, subject to that, the following code creates a new primitive type called TinyInt whose values lie between 1 and 10 inclusive. Instead of throwing an exception, attempting to create such a type with an out of bounds value results in a value which is within bounds i.e. 1 if the value is less than 1 or 10 if the value is greater than 10.
 
Rather than attempt to reproduce all functions or operators which the Int type supports, only the basic arithmetic operators and the increment and decrement operators are catered for below:
<syntaxhighlight lang="scala">// version 1.1
 
class TinyInt(i: Int) {
private val value = makeTiny(i)
 
operator fun plus (other: TinyInt): TinyInt = TinyInt(this.value + other.value)
operator fun minus(other: TinyInt): TinyInt = TinyInt(this.value - other.value)
operator fun times(other: TinyInt): TinyInt = TinyInt(this.value * other.value)
operator fun div (other: TinyInt): TinyInt = TinyInt(this.value / other.value)
operator fun rem (other: TinyInt): TinyInt = TinyInt(this.value % other.value)
 
operator fun inc() = TinyInt(this.value + 1)
operator fun dec() = TinyInt(this.value - 1)
 
private fun makeTiny(i: Int): Int =
when {
i < 1 -> 1
i > 10 -> 10
else -> i
}
 
override fun toString(): String = value.toString()
}
 
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
var t1 = TinyInt(6)
var t2 = TinyInt(3)
println("t1 = $t1")
println("t2 = $t2")
println("t1 + t2 = ${t1 + t2}")
println("t1 - t2 = ${t1 - t2}")
println("t1 * t2 = ${t1 * t2}")
println("t1 / t2 = ${t1 / t2}")

$var = undef if ($var !~ /^\d+$/ or $var < 1 or $var > 10);
We can make a Group to get and return value, a numeric value (if no $ used in name). Here we make operators ++ -- += and -=. To use it as a group in right expression we have to use Group(). Also we need Group() to push as group, at the last statement of CheckThis, where M is a pointer to a named group (K), which is not a movable Group (when module end run, this group erased), so cannot returned from module (if we do that we get a broken reference, which refer to a non exist group).
 
Class typeA, always return a unnamed group (a movable one) as a copy of an internal group (referred as This in constructor). Here constructor used once and because is in Class: part, can't copied to movable copy. Private variable mval can be visible only from "this" object. Statement .mval++ is same as This.mval++. Properties min and max has only value part, are read only. Min and max are groups also, and we can add anything that a group can have, using a second definition as Group min { }. Also a Property Min make a private variable as [min] so This.[Min] or .[Min] can be read or write inside modules/functions/operators of typeA and those who we insert after. Look at Set {} we place value to .mval using <=. If we use = then we make a local variable in Set not the private variable of group.
Which is a check I expect you would have to do in any other language anyway to prevent the program from having problems if the user provided data out side the acceptable range.
 
Every Module/Function/Operator/Sub/Thread can use stack of values. Rules are simple. Functions/Operators use new stack of values each time we call them in expressions. Module and Function which call using Call, or modules and subs by name use parent stack. Events (call functions) use new stack for each call.
==[[Toka]]==
[[Category:Toka]]
 
We use stack to push a group (a copy form a pointer M, which points to K), as return value from module.

{
We can use Currency, Decimal, Double, Single, Long, Integer for primitive data types. When we see type using Type$() we get "Group" (the user object type) but using TypeExp$() (defined in this example) we get group value's type, as Currency here.

=={{header|MATLAB}}==
In a weird way MATLAB has no primitive data types. All data types are defined as a MATLAB class somewhere in the MATLAB install directory. Therefore, to define a primitive data type, you define a class. Below is a class called "RingInt" that has the properties of an integer data type, but the values are restricted in the range [1,10]. Include in the definition are functions that overload some of the built-in MATLAB operators, e.g. addition and subtraction.

=={{header|Modula-3}}==
In Modula-3, subrange types are automatically subtypes of their base type, so if you define a type called <code>MyInt</code> to be the subrange [1..10] then <code>MyInt</code> is a subtype of <code>INTEGER</code>. If we defined <code>MyChar</code> as the subrange ['A'..'C'] then <code>MyChar</code> would be a subtype of <code>CHAR</code>.
<syntaxhighlight lang="modula3">TYPE MyInt = [1..10];</syntaxhighlight>
<code>MyInt</code> can now be used anywhere an <code>INTEGER</code> can, such as the standard arithmetic functions. Trying to assign a value outside of the range of <code>MyInt</code> will result in a compile time warning, and/or a runtime error.

Types can also be called just like other functions. The types '''object''', '''sequence''', '''string''', '''atom''' and '''integer''' are predefined.

=={{header|Racket}}==
Most Racket programmers will use contracts to enforce additional guarantees on values. In the following example, the program exports <tt>x</tt> with a contract that ensures it is a number between 1 and 10.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="racket">
#lang racket
 
(provide (contract-out [x 1-to-10/c]))
 
(define 1-to-10/c (between/c 1 10))
 
(define x 5)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
In Typed Racket, it is possible to define a type that only contains the integers from 1 to 10. However, this type is inconvenient to use and is unlikely to be used in practice.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="racket">
#lang typed/racket
 
(define-type 1UpTo10 (U 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10))
 
;; type-checks

(formerly Perl 6)
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>subset OneToTen of Int where 1..10;

Here the result 11 fails to smartmatch against the range <code>1..10</code>, so the second assignment throws an exception. You may use any valid smartmatch predicate within a <code>where</code> clause, so the following one-argument closure is also legal:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>subset Prime of Int where -> $n { $n > 1 and so $n %% none 2 .. $n.sqrt }</syntaxhighlight>

ref http://codeidol.com/other/rubyckbk/Numbers/Simulating-a-Subclass-of-Fixnum/
 
Some object-oriented languages won't let you subclass the "basic" data types
like integers. Other languages implement those data types as classes, so you
can subclass them, no questions asked. Ruby implements numbers as classes
(Integer, with its concrete subclasses Fixnum and Bignum), and you can subclass
those classes. If you try, though, you'll quickly discover that your subclasses
are useless: they don't have constructors.
Ruby jealously guards the creation of new Integer objects. This way it ensures
value:1-10: foo
that, for instance, there can be only one Fixnum instance for a given number
1 to foo
foo .
The easiest way to delegate all methods is to create a class that's nearly empty
and define a method_missing method.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="ruby">require 'test/unit'

=={{header|Rust}}==
 
As of version 1.36.0, Rust does not provide special language support for declaring new types which are range-constrained versions of its built-in primitives.
 
However, it is considered idiomatic to use single-element "tuple structs" (data structures with unnamed fields) to wrap primitive types in containers which impose runtime restrictions on their use without altering their in-memory representation.
 
The Rust ecosystem refers to this as the "newtype pattern" and an example would be the <code>String</code> type from the standard library, which wraps a <code>Vec&lt;u8&gt;</code> to uphold a "contents are valid UTF-8" invariant and expose an alternative set of methods.
 
This idiom is bolstered by Rust's collection of traits (interfaces) which a type can implement to integrate with existing conversions and operators.
 
For example, it is common for functions which take paths as input but don't modify them to take <code>AsRef&lt;Path&gt;</code>, which allows them to transparently accept any type which has implemented that conversion.
 
A simple example of implementing the newtype pattern manually would look like this:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">use std::convert::TryFrom;
 
mod test_mod {
use std::convert::TryFrom;
use std::fmt;
 
// Because the `i8` is not `pub` this cannot be directly constructed
// by code outside this module
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug)]
pub struct TwoDigit(i8);
 
impl TryFrom<i8> for TwoDigit {
type Error = &'static str;
 
fn try_from(value: i8) -> Result<Self, Self::Error> {
if value < -99 || value > 99 {
Err("Number cannot fit into two decimal digits")
} else {
Ok(TwoDigit(value))
}
}
}
 
impl Into<i8> for TwoDigit {
fn into(self) -> i8 { self.0 }
}
 
// This powers `println!`'s `{}` token.
impl fmt::Display for TwoDigit {
fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
write!(f, "{}", self.0)
}
}
}
 
pub fn main() {
let foo = test_mod::TwoDigit::try_from(50).unwrap();
let bar: i8 = foo.into();
println!("{} == {}", foo, bar);
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
However, there exist crates such as [https://lib.rs/crates/derive_more derive_more] to automate the parts other than the restricted construction logic based on a simple <code>#[derive(Add, Copy, Clone, Debug, Div, Into, Mul, Sub)]</code> and so on and so forth.

=={{header|Tcl}}==
Tcl does not attach types to values or variables, but it does allow the programmer to create traces on variables that can be used to enforce type-like constraints among other things. Traces are procedures that execute when variables are read, written and/or unset. (Traces are also available for commands and for the execution of a script.) Tcl's compiler does not enforce these constraints; they're strictly runtime entities.
<syntaxhighlight lang="tcl">namespace eval ::myIntType {
variable value_cache
array set value_cache {}
variable type integer
variable min 1
variable max 10
variable errMsg "cannot set %s to %s: must be a $type between $min and $max"
}
proc ::myIntType::declare varname {
set ns [namespace current]
uplevel [list trace add variable $varname write ${ns}::write]
uplevel [list trace add variable $varname unset ${ns}::unset_var]
}
proc ::myIntType::unset_var {varname args} {
variable value_cache
unset value_cache($varname)
}
proc ::myIntType::validate {value} {
variable type
variable min
variable max
expr {[string is $type -strict $value] && $min <= $value && $value <= $max}
}
proc ::myIntType::write {varname args} {
variable value_cache
upvar $varname var
set value $var
if {[validate $value]} {
set value_cache($varname) $value
} else {
if {[info exists value_cache($varname)]} {
set var $value_cache($varname)
}
variable errMsg

We define a new record type <code>my_number</code>, having two fields, of which
one is the number and the other is the pair of bounds. Fields in
records can have initializing functions, and any function can throw an
exception, so we make the initializing function of the number field
that which throws an exception if it's outside the bounds. The
initializing function of the bounds field sets its default values to 1
and 10. The initializing functions are automatically evaluated any
time a record of type <code>_my_number</code> is constructed by a function of the
form <code>my_number$[...]</code>, so we can proceed to define all the arithmetic
operations we need as functions of this form in terms of the
corresponding operations on natural numbers with no further bounds
checking required.

See [[#C#|C#]] for why this task ''technically'' impossible in VB.NET.
 
Through operator overloading, it is possible to declare types in VB.NET with the full complement of operators available on the primitive types. The following structure attempts to mimic the behavior of the <code>Integer</code> type in VB.NET on .NET Core as much as possible, including interfaces and static members, delegating as much implementation as possible to the <code>Integer</code> type itself.
 
Note that some operators return a <code>Double</code> instead of a new <code>LimitedInt</code>. This was intentional in order to match the behavior of the corresponding <code>Integer</code> operators in VB.NET. Also note that some members are commented out. This is because the newest supported release of VB.NET (as of 2019-09-14) does not support the .NET Core <code>Span(Of T)</code> and <code>ReadOnlySpan(Of T)</code> types.

=={{header|Wren}}==
To do this in Wren, you need to define a new TinyInt class with a suitable constructor and re-implement all the operators which apply to integers, checking (in the case of those that return an integer) that the result is within bounds and throwing an error if it isn't.
 
Note that inheriting from the basic types, such as Num, is not allowed.
 
The following carries out this procedure for a few basic operations and shows examples of their usage including throwing an out of bounds error on the last one.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wren">class TinyInt {
construct new(n) {
if (!(n is Num && n.isInteger && n >= 1 && n <= 10)) {
Fiber.abort("Argument must be an integer between 1 and 10.")
}
_n = n
}
 
n { _n }
 
+(other) { TinyInt.new(_n + other.n) }
-(other) { TinyInt.new(_n - other.n) }
*(other) { TinyInt.new(_n * other.n) }
/(other) { TinyInt.new((_n / other.n).truncate) }
 
==(other) { _n == other.n }
!=(other) { _n != other.n }
 
toString { _n.toString }
}
 
var a = TinyInt.new(1)
var b = TinyInt.new(2)
var c = a + b
System.print("%(a) + %(b) = %(c)")
var d = c - a
System.print("%(c) - %(a) = %(d)")
var e = d / d
System.print("%(d) / %(d) = %(e)")
var f = c * c
System.print("%(c) * %(c) = %(f)")
System.print("%(a) != %(b) -> %(a != b)")
System.print("%(a) + %(a) == %(b) -> %((a + a) == b)")
var g = f + b // out of range error here</syntaxhighlight>

1 + 2 = 3
3 - 1 = 2
2 / 2 = 1
